An Official Statement of
Ives Affairs.
THE UNITED LABOR TICKET.
A Mother and Daughter, Fearful
Of Becoming Insane, Commit
Suicide in New York.

FAssociated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
New York, August 20.-The as
signment of Ives & Co. was given out
this evening. The statement is COM
piled by the expert accountants who
have been working on the books. The
assignee says that he made no attempt
to appraise the values of the many
different kinds of stock, but took the
face value.
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES.
The total liabilities given amount TO
$16, ,447 1928. The total assets. includ-
ing all kinds OF railroad, bank and
other stocks, amount to $23, 1885, 300.
This leaves nominal surplus of ST.
3O6, ,577, but the assignee has placed
81 800 900 worth OF Cincinnati, Ham
ilton and Dayton preferred, given to
Robert Garrett, among the assets.
What could be realized on the COM
mon Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day
ton and much other stock is ques-
ton that can only be solved by an at
tempt to sell the securities.
THE SECURED LOANS ARE HEAVY.
1t is extremely unlikely that any
thing will be left after the payment OF
the secured loans, which already hold
the greater part of the assets as col
lateral. The situation is made all the
worse by the fact that all the rail-
road stocks depend in great measure
for their value on their hope OF realiz-
ing something after the secured loans
are paid off.
THE RAILROAD DEPOSITS.
A great item in the unsecured liabil-
tiles is the item of deposits, which
amount to over 100000 and repre-
sents the assets of the railroads which
were deposited by Ives. The largest
creditor is the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton road, whose claim is for
about $5,000,000. If this proves to
be total loss, then the stock is prac-
ticallv worthless.

About 2 o'clock this morning as
Ben Adler and a friend we're passing
the junction of Commercial and Ala

speaking to my girl for you s. Of q
-" An alteration followed dur
ing which Lacey struck Adler
severe blow with his
cane at the back of the
left ear, inflicting scalp wound.
Adler tainted, and while his friend
was attending to him, Lacey made
good his escape. The injured man
was was conveyed to the police station in
a hack and he gave the information
necessary for Lacey's arrest, and Of
ficer Aubel was at once dispatched in
pursuit. Up to the time of going to
press, however, Sid had not been
captured.

On Thursday White discovered that

ports of state business and to enter

alarming reports OF his condition were
without foundation.
THE CROWN PRINCES AILMENT.
DIR. Mackenzie, the Crown Princes

New York Associated Press corre-
spondent here a special report of the
Princes present condition. The pro-
gress made, he says, is quite satisfac-
tory, and there is every prospect for
A PERMANENT CURE
OF the Princes malady. On the

BASE BALL.
The Los Angeles Boys Knocked
out Again.

SACRAMENTO, August 2O.-A small
crowd witnessed the Atlas defeat the
Los Angeles club this afternoon.
Rooney, the amateur pitcher, and
Powers constituted the battery of the
home club. The game was devoid of
interest, being replete with errors.
Charlie Sweeney, OF the Stockton club,
played with the visitors. Rooney was
only caught for two hits. Score, Atlas,
6; Los Angeles, 3.
PIONEERS VS.. q. MS.
SAN Francisco, August 20.-The
GREENWOOD and Morans resigned the
last place to the Pioneers to-day. The
Pioneers hit the ball hard as usual,
played fair fielding game and ran
the base route with alacrity, but the
Oakland men won the victory. Itwas
a very even struggle and some
what exciting at times. The
Greenhood and Morans won the
game in two innings. In the first
Lorrigan was very wild and sent ten
men to the bat, of which number five
scored. After the first inning the
Greenhood and Morans made no run
until the seventh, when five men
scored, giving them a lead of one run,
which was increased by one more in
the next inning. The Pioneers had a
lead of four in the sixth inning, but
several costly errors gave the game to
their opponents. Score: Greenhood
and Morans IL, Pioneers 8.
INDIANAPOLIS VS.. DETROIT.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug 20. 0.-Between 5000
and 1000 people to-day saw Indianap-

game ever seen in this city. The
local club won by reason of the De-
troits errors. Score, indianapolis 5,
Detroit 4.
PHILADELPHIA VS.. NEW YORK.
PHILADELPHIA, August 20.-The
game beteen Philadelphia and New
York was exciting from the start to
the finish. Keefe and Casey pitched
with excellent effect and both re-
ceived support. With the game tie
in the ninth, the New York failed to
score and the play stopped on account
of darkness. Score: Philadelphia 5,
New York 5.
PITTsBURG VS.. CHICAGO.
PrrTsBURG, August 2O.-Pittsburg
tried hard to make it three straight
to-day but failed by scratch. The
game was quite exciting. Morris and
Van Haltren, the California south
paw, met for the first time and fought
an interesting battle. Van Haltren
had shade the best of it. Score
Pittsburg, 2; Chicago, 8.
BOSTON VS.. WASHINGTON.
BosToN, August 20.-The Washing
tons defeated the home team in two
consecutive games to-day by hard
hitting and brilliant fielding. The
coaching of the Bostons was again of
the happy-go-lucky order, and this in
measure accounts for their defeat in
both games. The batteries were the
same in both games and did splendid
work. Kelley batted well, but took
too many chances in running bases.
Scores: First game-Boston |, WASH

CHAMBERLAIN,S COUNSEL.
As to the Way OF Handling the
Irish Questions.

BIRMINGHAM, August 20. - In a
speech tonight Joseph Chamberlain,
referring to the Crimes Bill, regretted
that such a bill was necessary, but
the act was in his judgment intended
to protect "our Irish fellow subjects" )"
Chamberlain regretted that the gov
ernment had proclaimed the league.
He thinks that they were mistaken,
though he and others who acted with
him are precluded from condemning
the proclamation in strong language.
He dwells upon
THE ABSENCE OF CRIME
In most of the districts of Ireland and
thought that the other clauses of the
Coercion bill would be quite insuffi-
cient to enable the government to deal
with isolated cases. II am afraid, !"
he said, "that the course the govern
ment has pursued will land them in
the gravest difficulties and danger"
SIMPLY ADVERTISING THE LEAGUE.
He quoted an Irish landlord, who
had asked him to use his influence to
prevent the proclamation, and who
had said that if left alone the League
was rapidly becoming a laughing
stock and sinking into oblivion, but if
the government proclaimed it, it
would revive and get renewed sub
scriptions.
STILL FOR THE GOVERNMENT.
Regarding the report that he had
resigned his connection with the Gov
ernment party, Chamberlain said:
said: "The statement is entirely un-
authorized and without the shadow of
foundation. 1t is true that l differ
from the Government on this one
point. but l am prepared to support
their general policy so far as in my
judgment it tends to maintain union"
GLADsToNE's POPULARITY.
Referring to the recent elections and
the remarks made that the country is
returning to its loyalty to Gladstone,
Chamberlain said, 'The country
never wavered in its loyalty to Mr..
Gladstone it thought him grievously
mistaken, but has not lost its sense OF
gratitude for his past services. twill
be happy day for all when MIR.
Gladstone enables US to again arrange
ourselves ON his side."
THE LATE ELECTIONS.
Continuing Chamberlain complained
that the recent elections were fought
under false colors. Gladstone's candi-
dates he said obtained their majorities
by throwing overheard altogether
Gladstone's policy comprised in the
two great bills he offered in 1886. In
conclusion Chamberlain emphasized
the necessity of maintaining the
Unionists' principles, to which they
had given adhesion.
